It's very hard to maintain mental
health because so many coping
strategies are based on the idea
that your anxiety is unwarranted,
and right now needs more of an
"okay, extremely warranted but you
still gotta water the plants or you'll

@Lightfighter I get this but would like to point out an inaccuracy. This says 'most coping strategies', however the good strats which many learn in therapy are often behavioral therapy and CBT, which is (also) about introducing a cognitive step between an environmental trigger and your emotional response to it. It can help, even with climate stress (it's stress if there is a stressor, not anxiety).
